The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is a non-profit scientific and professional society that promotes the development and dissemination of information and education on the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the advancement of their professional applications.

Hydrology is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the water cycle, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability.

A practitioner of hydrology is a hydrologist, working within the fields of earth or environmental science, physical geography, geology or civil and environmental engineering.

Using various analytical methods and scientific techniques, they collect and analyze data to help solve water related problems such as environmental preservation, natural disasters, and water management.

An atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body.

An atmosphere is more likely to be retained if the gravity it is subject to is high and the temperature of the atmosphere is low.

An ocean (the sea of classical antiquity) is a body of saline water that composes much of a planet's hydrosphere.

On Earth, an ocean is one of the major conventional divisions of the World Ocean, which covers almost 71% of its surface.

These are, in descending order by area, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), and Arctic Oceans.

The word sea is often used interchangeably with "ocean" in American English but, strictly speaking, a sea is a body of saline water (generally a division of the world ocean) partly or fully enclosed by land.
